3 Tips to Navigate the Holiday with More Than One Baby

It may be your first year as a new parent of twins, or you’re going into the season with your second beautiful babe on board. It’s exciting and new, but the holidays can also feel overwhelming if you’re not getting enough sleep or you’re adjusting to a new routine. When it’s your first holiday with more than one baby, you can get through the season with informative resources and innovative products to help keep you and your little ones safe. 

Twin Bassinet

Set Boundaries

You are a growing family, and for the safety of you and your babies, you can decide how to approach the holidays in a way that fits into your new lifestyle. The last thing you want to do is expose your babies to discomforts or throw off a new routine right after they’ve adjusted.

You may have only recently helped twins fully adjust to a twin bassinet, which separates the babies with a divider while they sleep. This is a big win for you and the family’s sleep schedule. You may not want to alter their sleeping conditions so quickly. If you still want to see friends and family during the holidays, ask if they would be willing to come to you, so you don’t risk the safety and comfort of your babies.

 Prioritize Safety

Enjoy the season and take any seasonal hazards into account. Close friends and family may want to help you welcome infants to the family, but they can be unaware of what’s appropriate for certain stages of development.

If you feel that a particular gift is too advanced for your children, you can keep it tucked away until they get older. It’s better to keep your babies safe and healthy than put them at risk for the sake of pleasing a relative. Remember also that toys are for playtime and should be left far away from any place they can put your children at risk, such as in the bedside bassinet or the crib.

 Take A Moment For Yourself

When the day is winding down, and others take the time to relax, you may have your hands full with your two infants or your twins. If you think you need help and it’s available to you, ask for it. Your partner, your close relatives, and your best friends want to support you during this time.

Even if it’s just ten minutes to take a hot shower or get ready for bed, you still need to take care of yourself. You can provide your babies with proper supervision and attention from a loved one, and set them down in a comfortable twin bassinet that vibrates. Ensure that the acting guardian knows and follows the American Academy of Pediatrics safe sleep guidelines and always keeps safety at the forefront of their mind.

These are some of the little things you can do that may make all the difference in your first holiday season with two infants.
